Chapter 685 Entrance to the Illusion
As soon as Yi Moxu finished speaking, a silvery-white light suddenly rushed in from outside the door.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand, and a thin net suddenly appeared in her hand, trapping the thing that rushed in.
"Hey hey hey..." Something suddenly struggled in the net, and then Jiuxiao's voice rang out.
Ye Qing'an frowned and removed the net.
"You don't even recognize me? My respected master, you're really going to drive me crazy!"
Ye Qing'an glanced at him: "What are you doing here?"
"Me?" Jiuxiao transformed into human form, raised his hand and pointed to himself: "You ask me what I'm here for?"
Jiu Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an, then turned to look at Yi Moxu: "You're unbelievable! You've become even more inhuman since you got married!"
"Wasn't I summoned by you to deal with Ye Qinghao?"
“Oh…” Ye Qing’an nodded: “It seems there is such a thing, but now, Ye Qinghao is dead, so why are you still here?”
"So, you mean you use it and then throw it away, and I should automatically be considerate and leave on my own?"
Ye Qing'an clicked her tongue but didn't say anything. Jiu Xiao took a deep breath and reluctantly suppressed his anger, only snorting, "If you treat me like this, I'm going to explode."
"Walk."
Jiuxiao stamped his foot: "Don't you want to know who I saw outside just now?"
"Who?"
Jiu Xiao raised his head slightly, looking smug: "I saw Ye Qinghao's spirit beast."
"Ye Qinghao's spirit beast?" Yi Moxu frowned.
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Ye Qinghao has a spirit beast, a white fox. For many years, it has been disguised as the steward of the manor and stayed in the manor."
"The steward of the Ye family?"
"Yes."
Ye Qing'an didn't explain much, only pressing for an answer: "Where did you see it?"
"It's right in the city."
"At some point, it transformed back into its original form and infiltrated Anzhi City. When I returned just now, I glanced at it from mid-air and saw with my own eyes that it transformed from the appearance of a white fox into the appearance of the steward of the Ye family."
"I immediately wanted to give chase, but in the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace. I couldn't find it, so I had to come back to report."
Jiuxiao frowned: "What exactly does it want to do by secretly infiltrating Anzhi City?"
"It is Ye Qinghao's spirit beast. Ye Qinghao is currently in Anzhi City. There is no other possibility for him to sneak into Anzhi City except to save Ye Qinghao."
"Ye Qinghao is already in that state, what's the point of saving him?"
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Although Ye Qinghao is in that state, at least he's not dead yet. What he's afraid of is that I'll kill Ye Qinghao. If Ye Qinghao dies, he'll die too. Naturally, he doesn't want Ye Qinghao to die. As long as Ye Qinghao lives, everything is fine."
Hearing Ye Qing'an's tone, Jiu Xiao's eyes darted around: "What is Master planning?"
“He is Ye Qinghao’s spirit beast, and as Ye Qinghao’s steward, he has been by Ye Qinghao’s side for so many years. He must know everything about Ye Qinghao. We should find a way to lure him out.”
"Then, I can use Ye Qinghao's life as leverage..."
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Yi Moxu: "We want to go into the palace to investigate. The palace is full of traps and restrictions, so we can't use Xuanling techniques. We can split into several groups and try to investigate carefully."
"With that fox around, I've found a way to break through."
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow: "What breakthrough?"
"Consort Yun".
“Yunfei is Ye Qinghao’s sister, and I once saw a white fox by Yunfei’s side. I had a guess before that the white fox should be Ye Qinghao’s spirit beast.”
"Most likely." Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly: "If I can capture that fox, I can start with Consort Yun and find a way to enter the palace."
Yi Moxu nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Jiu Xiao quickly greeted them warmly to acknowledge his presence: "These past few days, I've been wandering around the waters near Siyou Kingdom with that water unicorn, and we've made some discoveries."
"There are many islands in the nearby sea. As you instructed, we focused our investigation on some islands that were rumored to be inhabited by monsters or were off-limits, but we found nothing. The Water Kirin and I were about to return to report when we suddenly made a discovery."
"What discovery?"
Jiuxiao raised his chin: "We discovered an... entrance to an illusion in a certain sea area."
"The entrance to the illusion?"
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "What kind of illusion would have its entrance set in the sea?"
“Right?” Jiuxiao said smugly. “When I discovered the entrance to that illusion, I thought the same thing. I felt there must be something fishy about it, and I suspected that it was the entrance to the Night Demon Clan’s territory.”
"The Water Kirin and I quietly investigated the entrance to the illusion for a long time. Everything around the entrance was normal, and we couldn't see anything. It looked like just an ordinary sea, but the sea seemed to have bigger waves. I asked the local fishermen, and they said they didn't know what was going on there. The waves were always bigger in that area, so they would avoid that area when they were fishing."
"The Water Kirin originally planned to venture into that illusion to investigate, but I felt that the Night Demon Clan was adept at weaving illusions. If it was indeed an illusion deliberately woven by the Night Demon Clan to deceive the world and hide the existence of their territory, it would be dangerous for us to rush in, not to mention that we would easily alert them."
"Since you summoned me, I thought I'd come back and report to you first, so we can discuss it and you can make a decision on how to handle this matter."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "That should be the entrance to the Night Demon Clan's territory. They set up the illusion to hide the existence of their territory. That so-called sea with its perpetually large waves should be an illusion they created to keep people away from it."
"Because the entrance is at sea, those who broke in before must have accidentally stumbled in through the entrance and discovered the existence of the Nightshade Clan's territory."
Jiuxiao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's what I think too."
After saying that, he blinked again: "So, what are we going to do now? Should we go and investigate further? Or should we go into the illusion first and see what's going on?"
"But I'm a little worried. The illusions of the Night Demon Clan are too powerful. What if I go in and can't get out?"
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "I have entered and exited the Night Demon Clan's illusion several times, and I've been fine."
"You and the Water Qilin are both ancient divine beasts, are you afraid of not being able to defeat them?"
“It’s easier for us to alert them if we barge in. You can shrink your size and sneak in to take a look. Don’t be afraid of alerting them. You can tell me the location first. If you alert them, I will definitely go in and rescue you.”
